Countering Online Hate Speech Year of publication: 2015 Author: Iginio Gagliardone | Danit Gal | Thiago Alves | Gabriela Martinez Corporate author: UNESCO The present report provides a global overview of the dynamics characterizing hate speech online and some of the measures that have been adopted to counteract and mitigate it, highlighting good practices that have emerged at the local and global levels. While the study offers a comprehensive analysis of the international, regional and national normative frameworks developed to address hate speech online, and their repercussions for freedom of expression, it places particular emphasis on social and non-regulatory mechanisms that can help to counter the production, dissemination and impact of hateful messages online. 
Mother Tongue and Early Childhood Care and Education: Synergies and Challenges Year of publication: 2020 Author: Sheldon F. Shaeffer Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok Evidence tells us that learning first in one’s MT leads to better outcomes in the future – for individuals, cultures, and nations. But MT is used rarely in ECCE programmes and the early grades of primary school so that many children are forced to learn in a language they poorly understand, and in an environment which neglects and even represses their cultural identity and the language which “carries” it. Evidence also tells us that good quality ECCE programmes enhance the well-being of young children. But many governments spend few resources on ECCE and put very little effort into creating a developmentally and linguistically appropriate curriculum and pedagogy for young pre-school children. The challenge is that while the most disadvantaged children benefit the most from ECCE programmes, these children participate in them the least. Thus, for both cultural and educational reasons, and as a child’s right, ECCE and initial literacy should be provided in a child’s MT, and actions can be taken at both macro- and micro-levels to ensure that this is achieved. In other words, the long and often difficult process of revitalising, maintaining, and further developing endangered languages of indigenous peoples must begin first in families and communities – but then must continue into ECCE programmes and into the wider education system. Without this, indigenous, minority languages and cultures will never thrive – and many will not survive.

The Modernization of Confucianism and the Localization of Citizenship Education (Proceedings of 2015 5th International Conference on Applied Social Science) Year of publication: 2015 Author: Huarong Yua | Qiyang Xie Corporate author: International Conference on Applied Social Science Chinese mainland society is in the transition from traditional society to modern society, as an important symbol of transformation is the birth of modern citizens. It depends on the effective modern citizen education to lay the social foundation to transform from the traditional subject society to the modern civil society. Civic education that originated from western society, in the era of globalization is of universal significance. Due to the different background of Chinese and Western culture, civic education in the Chinese mainland should draw on the reasonable core of the universal value of the Western Civic Education, but not copy the Western model completely. It is beneficial to the development of the modern citizen in the mainland of China and the traditional culture to absorb cultural nutrition from the traditional Confucianism as the core idea of civic education. However, the Confucianism was born in two thousand years ago and is the product of the traditional agricultural civilization and the patriarchal society, so it is necessary to cultivate modern citizens with the creative transformation of Confucianism.
